The lyrics of"Run Away"
(C)Douglas J. Payne 2025
[Intro]
Running, Running, Running (repeat)
[Verse 1]
Ever since she said that she didn’t need me.
I tried real hard to prove that she was wrong.
But now I know why she no longer wants me,
someone new has entered her life.
[Verse 2]
It doesn’t make sense
to stay where I’m not wanted.
But I still love you,
and I wish I could stay.
My sweet love has changed
like the weather.
This time I’ll leave you for ever and ever.
[Bridge]
I’ll just have to hurry.
So I could be the first to leave.
Then no one would know,
that you're the one who ran out on me.
[Chorus]
Runaway keep running,
I’m gonna run away and keep running
Runaway keep running,
I’m gonna run away and keep running
[Verse 3]
You were everything that I ever needed.
But you never listened to what I had to say.
You were never wrong, and I was never right.
So I’m leaving you now, please don’t ask me to stay.
[Verse 4]
Maybe sometimes I don’t show my feelings.
But girl you know, you know I tried.
Let’s stop fighting over who’s wrong or who’s right.
I really don’t want to say it, but I’m saying goodbye.
[Bridge]
I’ll just have to hurry.
So I could be the first to leave.
Then no one would know,
that you're the one who ran out on me.
[Chorus]
Runaway keep running,
I’m gonna run away and keep running
Runaway keep running,
I’m gonna run away and keep running.
[Intro]
Running, Running, Running (repeat)
[Chorus]
Runaway keep running,
I’m gonna run away and keep running
Runaway keep running,
I’m gonna run away and keep running.
